A Thousand Bad Times
Post Malone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah
Said you needed a ride, but you wanted my car
Without that face, girl, you wouldn't get far
I really like you, despite who you are, oh (who you are)
You see me on tv, you know I'm a star
You say you don't know me, but I know that's false
You make my life so hard
But that's what gets me off
I had a thousand bad times
So what's another time to me? (What's that time, yeah)
You try to burn my house down
But what's another house to me? (What's that time, yeah)
'Cause I can take anything that you give me (what you give me)
It's gonna take a lot more to kill me, bitch
So thank you for the grave (yeah)
I needed me a place to sleep (place to sleep)
And I don't wanna meet your mama (no)
She prolly crazier than you (she prolly crazier than you)
I'm gonna need some thicker armor (armor)
To spend another night with you (and on, and on, and on)
Baby, I know just what to do
Every time you fuck me over, I'll come back to you
Baby, I don't want to know the truth (know the truth)
I ignore them when they tell me all the shit you do (shit you do)
I always get my heart broke like I needed the practice (needed)
Foot on my throat 'til my world is collapsin' (damn)
But this what I chose, it's the law of attraction, yeah (attraction)
(And on and on and on)
You make my life so hard (so hard, so hard)
But that's what gets me off
I had a thousand bad times
So what's another time to me? (So what's that time, yeah)
You try to burn my house down
But what's another house to me? (So what's that time, yeah)
'Cause I can take anything that you give me (what you give me)
It's gonna take a lot more to kill me, bitch (kill me)
So thank you for the grave (yeah)
I needed me a place to sleep (place to sleep)
I should get out, but I still want more
I should get out, what am I waitin' for?
It's all the same to me, it's all a game to me
It's all the same to me, it's all the same
I had a thousand bad times
So what's another time to me? (What's that time, yeah)
You try to burn my house down
But what's another house to me? (What's that time, yeah)
'Cause I can take anything that you give me (what you give me)
It's gonna take a lot more to kill me, bitch
So thank you for the grave (yeah)
I needed me a place to sleep (place to sleep)
We goin', oh
At the outset, Post Malone seems to be addressing a lover who has taken advantage of him. She claims that she needs a ride, but in reality, she just wants to use his car. However, the singer doesn't seem too bothered by this, as he admits that he likes her despite who she is, and even though she claims not to know him, he knows she's lying. Later in the song, it's revealed that this woman has been causing him a lot of pain and heartbreak, yet he keeps going back to her, ignoring the truth of her actions and the warnings of others. He admits that she makes his life hard, but he likes it that way.
The chorus acts as a sort of defiant mantra for the singer, as he insists that he's already been through a thousand bad times, so he can handle one more, even if she burns down his house or breaks his heart. He continually thanks her for putting him in pain because he needs a place to sleep, and he can take anything that she gives him. There's a sense of both determination and resignation in these lyrics, as if the singer knows he's in a bad situation but can't help but stay in it.
Overall, "A Thousand Bad Times" is a song about a toxic relationship that the singer can't seem to break away from. He acknowledges the pain and heartbreak this woman has caused him, yet he keeps going back for more.
